Product Description
The SR-034C-25 is a 25 Ohm semi-rigid coaxial cable designed for RF and microwave applications that require low-impedance transmission and compact routing. With a 0.034 inch (0.86 mm) outer diameter, it follows the UT-034 size format while providing a 25 Ω configuration suitable for specialized RF circuits and power applications. The cable features a seamless copper tube outer conductor for complete RF shielding and minimal signal leakage, along with a silver-plated copper center conductor that offers high conductivity and non-magnetic performance for sensitive measurement environments. A PTFE dielectric ensures stable electrical characteristics across a wide temperature range, while the formable semi-rigid copper shield allows precise shaping during installation, making it ideal for RF test fixtures, microwave modules, laboratory instruments, and compact electronic assemblies where reliable signal integrity is required.
FAQ
Q: Why choose a 25 Ohm RF coax cable instead of the common 50 Ohm type?
A: Lower impedance cables can support higher current levels and are sometimes used in RF power circuits, impedance transformation networks, or specialized microwave designs where 50 Ω is not optimal.
Q: Is SR-034C-25 mechanically compatible with UT-034 type cables?
A: Yes. The cable maintains the same 0.034″ outer diameter format used by UT-034 size semi-rigid cables, making it suitable for similar routing spaces and connector tooling.
Q: What connectors can be used with this cable?
A: Depending on the required operating frequency, the cable can be terminated with SMA, 2.92 mm (K), or other microwave connectors designed for 0.034″ semi-rigid cables.
Q: Can the cable be pre-formed for assemblies?
A: Yes. Semi-rigid coax can be supplied straight or pre-bent according to mechanical drawings for production assemblies or test fixtures.
Q: What is the advantage of the copper tube outer conductor?
A: The seamless copper shield provides extremely high electromagnetic isolation and maintains consistent impedance along the cable length.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: Typical MOQ for 0.034″ semi-rigid cable is 10 meters, suitable for prototype and engineering applications.
